Run to the Hills - The Mighty Iron Maiden

Well the hills beckoned me yesterday - the Big Mother one going out of West Hallam on Potato Pit Lane in fact. The heat on the tarmac made it all the harder but I did seven hard run ups as well as seven hard runs down which certainly pushed me well out of my comfort zone. Each climb and descent took me five minutes and with a run there and back gave me 60 minutes of running. Parking at the local Tesco provided me with a cool place to recover and plenty of cool drink options post run.

Boy that milkshake tasted sweet!

I remember a couple of years back now really attacking my hill training and it's time to attack again...
